“He called me last night but couldn’t get through. He doesn’t believe me, so he called the police himself. Brother-in-law… no, Ming, my boyfriend is involved in organized crime. You absolutely mustn’t mess with him.”
Upon hearing Su Yan reveal the identity of her boyfriend...
Wei Ming sneered and said disdainfully, "That's it? When I was in Donghai City, your boyfriend was probably still working as a waiter! A bar thug claiming to be involved in organized crime? You're making a fool of yourself! You invite him out, I'm going to teach him a lesson!"
"Ming-ge, let me apologize to you on his behalf. Let's let this go..."
"You're nothing! I advise you to be smart, or I'll not only break your legs, but also bring a dozen people to mess with you!"
Su Yan was so frightened that she nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say."
"That's more like it!"
In front of Wei Ming, Su Yan called her boyfriend.
"Hey, something's come up, come over here! You need to..."
Wei Ming asked her for an address.
He's now preparing to take his men over and wait.
He called his men, including Brother Leopard.
"You need to come here; there's something I need to take care of!"
...
Sitting in the sports car, Chen Zhe received an address from Su Yan on his phone.
He smiled and then took out the drone next to him.
"Even though you have powerful connections, I don't believe you can escape under the watchful eyes of everyone."
...
An abandoned warehouse in the suburbs.
A black sedan arrived.
Four tattooed men got off the bus. All four looked menacing, and one of them was a green-haired man whose green hair was particularly striking.
"Brother Qiu, why did your wife choose such a remote place?"
The green-haired man spat out the cigarette butt from his mouth.
"Wouldn't it be easier to get things done if we were a little off to the side? You guys need to be quick-witted later. She said this time it's a big fish, and we can't let it get away."
A pink-haired guy laughed and said, "Don't worry, Ball, we've got your back."
He held a baseball bat in his hand, shaking his leg, looking determined to win.
The four men pushed open the warehouse door, ready to stage their familiar act of catching their partner in the act.
But to their surprise, there were other people waiting for them inside as well.
Moreover, the other party doesn't seem like someone to be trifled with.
Ball was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene, and then looked for Su Yan in the crowd.
Su Yan stood to the side, looking frightened.
Wei Ming put his hands in his pockets, looked at them, and then asked Su Yan, "Which one is it?"
"The one with the green hair..."
"Beat them!!"
Wei Ming gave the order, and Leopard and his men rushed forward with their weapons. The four men who saw them charging also quickly grabbed their weapons and went to meet them.
The two groups started fighting.
They used baseball bats and steel pipes to attack each other without any mercy.
Unbeknownst to them, a drone was hovering overhead at that moment.
And it's being broadcast live.
The two groups fought fiercely, but in the end, Ball's team managed to gain the upper hand.
Ball used to fight in black market boxing matches. He could take on several people at once. Without that skill, he wouldn't dare to work as a thug in a bar.
Seeing that things were not going well, Wei Ming tried to make a run for it.
But Ball rushed over, grabbed his hair, and slammed him to the ground.
"You son of a bitch! You dare to send people to ambush me! Where the hell do you go from here?"
Wei Ming has no fighting skills; his greatest ability is beating his wife.
"You can't touch me! My brother-in-law is Shen Xingang!!"
"Fuck you! I don't know anything about Shen Xingang. You messed with me, and you believe I'll kill you right now?"
"Don't do it! Don't do it! You know Ninth Master, right?"
"Ninth Master?"
When he heard Ninth Master's name, Ball stopped.
Seeing a glimmer of hope, Wei Ming quickly said, "Yes! I know Ninth Master very well! If you dare to touch me, Ninth Master will definitely not let you off!!"
Ball suddenly burst into laughter; "Damn it, Lu Jiu is nothing. We're with Fei Ge. Lu Jiu is old, and I heard he doesn't even dare to leave his house now. A while ago, his men were either killed or injured, and now nobody dares to follow him. How dare you mention him?"
Wei Ming was startled; he hadn't expected that even bringing up Ninth Master, a big shot in the underworld, wouldn't work.
His arrogant demeanor vanished instantly.
"Good man, let's talk this out. Maybe it's all a misunderstanding."
"You've got a misunderstanding, you motherfucker! Stop talking nonsense and pay up! You slept with my girlfriend and even hired people to beat us up. Don't you owe us some medical expenses?"
Wei Ming gritted his teeth; he truly hadn't expected his opponent to be so skilled.
He thought they were just ordinary thugs, so he didn't call over many people.
This time, we've really messed up.
It seems the only solution is to pay compensation.
"How much?"
Ball looked at Su Yan beside him, then held up one finger; "One million!"
"What??? You might as well just rob her!! How could she possibly be worth a million?"
"Are you going to pay me or not?"
Ball slapped Wei Ming across the face.
After being slapped several times, Wei Ming finally agreed.
"Give it to me! I'll give it to you!!"
Having lost, Wei Ming had no choice but to pay up, but he didn't have that much money left, so he had to call his brother-in-law, Shen Xingang.
He was too embarrassed to tell anyone that he had been beaten.
I was just thinking of getting my revenge next time.
Shen Xingang frowned slightly when he heard that he wanted another million.
However, considering that this person was still somewhat useful, it was ultimately given to him.
After receiving the money, Qiu Ge and his group left happily with Su Yan.
Wei Ming got up and looked at his men who had been beaten down.
I was so angry.
"Damn it, what's the use of keeping you guys around? You can't even beat a few thugs!"
Leopard and his friends felt somewhat aggrieved.
"President Wei, the opponent has practiced, and it's not just for show..."
"Enough!! Stop making excuses! We have to get this back!! If we don't, don't even think about getting a single penny from me again!"
Leopard and his men readily agreed.
As they were leaving, someone finally noticed the drone overhead.
"Mr. Wei, an airplane has arrived!"
"Fly my ass! Haven't I ever seen an airplane before?"
Wei Ming slapped him on the head, then got into the car, feeling dejected.
Unbeknownst to them, their brawl had been broadcast live online.
The news of Chen Zhe, the general manager of Linglong Club, resigning a few days ago caused quite a stir, and many people know that Wei Ming was cheated on.
His appearance was naturally remembered by many people.
Although the live stream was shut down midway, many people took screenshots of it.
The comments section exploded with discussion among netizens.
[Holy crap! This guy's actually a gangster! He put on such a pitiful act before, I even felt sorry for him.]
I feel like I've been scammed. Everything seems fake now. I think the manager of that Linglong Club was set up.
[It's 100% a setup. Wei Ming has so many people under him. Even if he was blinded by anger that day, he wouldn't have acted himself; he would have sent his men. If he really was cheated on, he would have secretly killed Chen Zhe from Linglong Club. The reason he did this was definitely to frame him.]
[Haha, thank goodness for the blogger's live stream, otherwise we wouldn't have found out.]
[This blogger is unlucky. They were just trying to take pictures of the scenery, but ended up capturing this scene, and their account got banned, hahaha.]
[Haha, I feel really unlucky too!]
...
Chen Zhe saw these comments online and a smile crept onto his lips.
Wei Ming ruined his reputation and even tried to kill him, so he certainly wouldn't let him off easily.
This is called giving someone a taste of their own medicine.
He fabricated an identity, so Wei Ming would never be able to track him down. It felt great to be able to play tricks on people from the shadows.
After a day of online discussion, the matter escalated significantly.
Wei Ming's identity was quickly exposed. Actually, there was no need to deliberately expose him, since he was quite famous in Donghai. It wasn't difficult to understand him and Shen Xingang behind him.
Therefore, the public opinion attack also targeted the Shengli Group and the Donghai City Chamber of Commerce.
Shen Xingang was furious in his office. It turned out that Weimin had asked him for a million yuan just to settle this matter.
He called and gave Wei Ming a good scolding.
But simply criticizing won't help; the most important thing now is to handle this public relations issue well.
Because it spread so rapidly through live online streaming, the media outlets he controlled couldn't react in time.
Despite the ongoing deletion of comments and posts, many new posts are still being created.
Wei Ming's involvement in organized crime means that Shengli Group may also be involved in organized crime. They are currently fighting against Linglong Chamber of Commerce and Hu Ling. At this critical juncture, Hu Ling will definitely not let this news go.
Sure enough, the livestreamers from Linglong Club started making sarcastic remarks in their livestreams.
This further impacted the stock prices of the listed companies affiliated with the Donghai City Chamber of Commerce.
Let them fall again and again.
Hu Ling sat in her office and laughed.
"He's really courting death!"
As she laughed, she suddenly realized how coincidental things were.
What a coincidence that Wei Ming got into a fight? And what a coincidence that the live stream happened to capture it?
"Could it be..."
Hu Ling thought for a moment, then called Chen Zhe.
"What are you doing?"
Chen Zhe yawned.
"Of course I'm sleeping during the holidays, Sister Hu, is there something you need?"
Have you seen the news?
"What news?"
"Wei Ming is in trouble. Now the Shengli Group and the Donghai City Chamber of Commerce are also affected. You really didn't see that?"
"I was sleeping the whole time. I wouldn't have woken up if it weren't for your call."
"Oh... I thought this had something to do with you."
Chen Zhe smiled and said, "Sister Hu, how could that be? I don't have that kind of ability."
"Hehe, alright, if it's unrelated, then it's unrelated. Take a break for a while, and when you're feeling better, you can come back to work."
"good!"
Hang up the phone.
Chen Zhe came out of the public restroom and changed into a cleaning uniform.
Then he walked towards his apartment.
After he left Linglong Club, Hu Ling kept him under surveillance.
Therefore, he would change his clothes every time he went out and came back.
Although Hu Ling's surveillance of him might not be intended to harm him, he didn't want Hu Ling to know what he was doing. If this woman knew too much about his affairs, it would mean that she would have more leverage over him, which was not a good thing.
